- Comment on Ubisoft target audience when they play a good game 6 hours ago:
I personally played it some time after Portal 2, probably 2015 or so. I found it great, particularly as far as lore and pacing are concerned. Sure, there are bits that drag, characters that aren’t well written, and plot/lore details that are too ambiguous, but I’d much rather that than hand-holdy, surface-level plot of most similar shooters, or plot told through YouTube videos and flavor text like many modern shooters. IMO, its still one of the best at what it does, and its still a personal favorite for it.

- Comment on Can other countries impose sanctions on the US? 1 week ago:
Have they? Beyond, small, local measures, I haven’t noticed much difference. We still are trying to buy the F-35, we’re just as committed to American software and financial institutions and have no plans nor initiatives to transfer away, we’re doubling down on fossil fuels, much of which will go to the US, and we don’t really even (accurately) label which products are Canadian or not. I don’t know of a single government-led or funded initiative to reduce reliance on the US.
- Comment on The 2025 Steam Awards Winners 2 weeks ago:
While I don’t think it deserves the win over Blue Prince, it does have some interesting gameplay innovations compared to others in the genre, as well as some interesting tech.
In particular, the included PvE element, as well as the sorter session and decreased death penalty makes the game much more accessible. It also helps offer an incentive to not shoot-on-sight, as the bots serve as a common enemy and shared threat. Its a difference between games like PUBG where games are tense, hour-long affair, and something like Fortnite where its colourful, easy to get into, and despite still being competitve, filled with other diversions for those who won’t win.
- Comment on Is lemmy dying? 1 month ago:
I believe Lemmy itself is shrinking. Last I checked Fediverse Observer, it was on a downward trend (although not drastically). That said, that excludes PieFed. I think when including PieFed we’re probably growing (very) slowly.
- Comment on For those of you who enjoy open-world games, how big of a world is too big? 2 months ago:
It has been a little while since I last played it, but I found that scale-wise, it felt small (I’m guessing this is what you mean) with major locations too close together, but content-wise, it felt sparse, empty and ultimately pretty boring.
- Comment on For those of you who enjoy open-world games, how big of a world is too big? 2 months ago:
Basically, how much of the world is interesting/fun.
For example, Fallout 3 doesn’t do a great job of this, as much of the world is baren with no story or gameplay. Half of the world feels like it could be cut out without much loss. The Yakuza games on the other hand, have smaller worlds but they feel massive and fun because there’s always something to do moments away.
The work-around is to make travel fun, so the “empty-space” is just more gameplay. The Just Cause games are the perfect example of this. All the movement mechanics are quick and satisfying, from the grapple and parachute, to the driving, to the OP wingsuit.
- Comment on Windows 11 Debloat Script/Program? 2 months ago:
Erm, it looks to me that there is a project to make them work on Linux: openrazer.github.io.
It only covers the absolute basics. Not even button rebinding.
Also… TBH if a mouse doesn’t work on Linux that kind of makes it a bad mouse, IMO. I would just get a different mouse if it was an actual issue. It’s not like it’s a mechanical keyboard or something.
I mean, even ignoring that, its pretty bad. Doesn’t even have on-board memory. Unfortunately, its what I’m stuck with, given that I can’t afford a new one.
- Comment on Windows 11 Debloat Script/Program? 2 months ago:
Unfortunately not. Theres some tools for the RGB, or one-off tweaks like changing DPI and polling rate in the UI, but nothing that offers button rebinding, nonetheless profile control.
- Comment on Windows 11 Debloat Script/Program? 2 months ago:
OpenRazer unfortunately doesn’t support rebinding buttons.
- Comment on Windows 11 Debloat Script/Program? 2 months ago:
Are you sure its the same as the Naga X, because I’m 99% sure the Naga X doesn’t have on-board memory? The earlier and more expensive ones do, but the X is the cheapo option.
- Comment on Windows 11 Debloat Script/Program? 2 months ago:
My mouse isn’t Logitech, its Razor. The Naga X.
- Comment on Windows 11 Debloat Script/Program? 2 months ago:
What kind of mouse are you using anyway?
Razer Naga X. I spent all day yesterday trying to get it working in Mint, but had no luck. Nothing supports button rebinding, nonetheless DPI changes.
- Comment on Why do video game leaks (such as the huge GTA VI videos leak) cause "low morale" for the staff working on it? 2 months ago:
I mean, if the marketing is lying about the product, it will probably demoralize developers in a similar way and for the same reasons.

Yep. The post was removed, but I can still see the comment on my profile:
The whole website seems to be just AI nonsense, and AI nonsense running at 2fps at that.
Edit: Also, the formatting on mobile is horrid
- Comment on Why do people hate reality? 3 months ago:
I mean, theres the obvious answer that the world sucks right now. Even in the richest country in the world, large parts are the population are starving and/or homeless.
That said, your argument seems to conflate “nature” with “reality”. That answer to that is that nature is generally very bad for us. Bugs and animals will try to eat us if given a chance - killing us first is a luxury often not afforded. Plants, trying to avoid being eaten, are poisonous almost as often as not. With the limited availablility of food in nature, starvation is common. Even common diseases can kill hundreds of thousands without the use of modern medicine. We build and innovate to get away from all this. We build houses and weapons to protect ourselves from the elements and the animals. We develop pesticides and GMOs because they’re easier to grow and more nutritious, making feeding ourselves cheaper. We develop medicine to save billions of lives that would otherwise be lost. Being natural doesn’t mean something is good for us, and in fact generally means the opposite.
- Comment on Steam, Riot Games hit by disruptions: massive DDoS attack suspected 3 months ago:
My game last night was more like a couple of lag. Luckily, Dota has an in-built system to detect it, so the game wasn’t recorded and those of us who didn’t leave spent the remainder of the game messing around.
- Comment on Are the character names in most Anime real Japanese names or just made up? 3 months ago:
Some are real, many are exaggerated or fantastical. It varies a lot. If you think of western shows, some use realistic names, esspecially in a more grounded setting, but most cartoons or more fantastical works will either use names that are over-the-top (I.E. Marty McFly), while others are loosely based on other languages or completely made up.
- Comment on how come Lemmy show more upvoted posts further down the thread instead of at the top? 3 months ago:
I believe “Hot” sorting filters by a mix of recency, score and possibly also activity. If you want to sort by score alone, you can use the dropdown to change the sorting to use “top” instead. There may also be an option in your settings to make this the default if you want to.

- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
A lot of the same reasons younger women often like older men. Maturity and stability is attractive, people often have sexual preferences for those who are older, those who are older often have money they can throw around (IE sugar daddies), and people often find the power imbalance attractive.
- Comment on A good video about a deep dive into protein in the new "protein fad" 3 months ago:
I’ve been trying to change my diet to eat less sugar, and trying to substitute it with more nutritious and particularly protein rich foods, and this issue has been driving me insane. Basically anything pre-made in any form is filled with sugar, and that goes double for things advertised as nutritious or protein-rich.
- Comment on [Gamers Nexus] How Razer Screws Customers | Hardware, Software, & Support Failures 4 months ago:
Their older stuff was absolutely great. Theres a reason I tried to replace my original Logitech mouse with a duplicate twice. Its their more recent stuff (and esspecially more recent software) that has fallen off in quality.
- Comment on [Gamers Nexus] How Razer Screws Customers | Hardware, Software, & Support Failures 4 months ago:
The only reason they’re still so common is that you could swap out “Razer” in your comment with 90% of the other gaming or performance brands and it would be just as true if not moreso. I had to swap to razer after I had two Corsair mice fail in as many months, and what seemed like a software bug kill three Logitech mice (One I had been using previously, and two more bought to replace it, which were broken out of the box).

- Comment on Game recommendations 4 months ago:
So far as I know, there aren’t a lot of 8-player local multiplayer games. The only obvious answer is the Jackbox games, using your phones as controllers.
Beyond that, I did find this Steam curator, who seems to specialize in 8-player games. From thier list, I recognize Gang Beasts, and Pico Park: Classic Edition. Party Golf, Screen Cheat, and Cobalt also all looked interesting, but I’ve never seen anyone play them.
- Comment on Game recommendations 4 months ago:
Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think Boomerang Fu or Overcooked support 8 players?

Embarrassed? No.
Annoyed/mad? Maybe a bit?
It does feel like its a boundary violation, and inconsiderable to both you and the woman to suprise you and force a specifc date and time on you like that. At the same time, you didn’t do anything wrong, and if the opportunity has presented itself, and you areinterested in dating, its still worth it to go.
